Preheat the oven to 180ºC, 160ºC Fan, Gas Mark 4.

Place fork, plums, jam, seasoning and sage in a large bowl, mix together well.

Roll out the pastry on a floured board and using approx 17cm, bowl/saucer cut out 4 circles, re-roll and you should be able to cut one more.

Place a large spoonful of mixture into the centre of the circle, lightly brush the edges of the pastry with a little water and fold the pastry around the filling. Press edges together and seal with a crimp pattern.

Brush with the egg and milk glaze and place on a non-stick baking tray (or use baking parchment). Bake for about 25-30 minutes until pastry is golden brown.

Serve the pasties hot or cold, with a fruity relish or chutney.
